His Lightning Rod

Chapter 3

*A week and a half later*

I was at STAR labs chillin when I heard a loud beeping coming from the med bay and it was from Barry's heart monitor. I ran in with Caitlyn and Cisco. Dr. Wells was no where to be found. I found Barry and he gasped and looked around. "Who the hell are you guys and where am I?" I stepped up. "Barry It's Arabella do you remember me?" He looked at me and nodded. I sighed and gave him a hug. "Your at STAR labs. And that is Caitlyn, Dr. Snow and Cisco Ramon." I said pointing to them.

He nodded. "Why am I at STAR labs?" "You were struck by lightning the same night I got hit by dark matter." Barry nodded. "You also have been in a coma for 9 months." "What!?" I nodded. "Don't worry I was in a coma for 8 and a half months." His eyes widened and he got up and walked towards a mirror. "Lightning gave me abs?" I smiled. "Barry take a good look at me and see what I look like since the last time you saw me." He turned around and looked at me. His eyes widened. "You changed a lot." "Yea and this is what Dark matter did to me."

"I need to go to see Iris. I have to go." "Barry you can't go!" I said. Caitlyn agreed with me. "Yes there is still so much we need to find out." "Yes Mr. Allen there is still so much we don't know." "I am fine seriously thank you so much for saving my life." He then ran t. "Well then." I mumbled. "I want to check your reflexes again." I shrugged my shoulders. Cisco wanted me to see how I am when in danger and needed to think fast so we went out in the yard and everyone followed us.

Cisco wanted to try to hit me like in a fight. He threw a punch and it was like it was going in slow motion. I blocked. He tried to kick me but I dodged it and I was behind him in a second and I kicked his booty and he fell. "Sorry Cisco." I said I helped him up and we went back inside. Caitlyn went and did some tests and Barry walked in looking panicked. "Guys something is wrong with me." "What is it Barry?" "I-I think I have powers." I looked at him. Cisco looked excited and happy. "What powers?" "I don't know?" "Ok let me run tests while Cisco makes clothing that will let us track your vitals." She said to Barry. Barry nodded. "Do you want to help me Arabella?" I smiled at Cisco and nodded my head.

We went into his workshop and started to work. After a few hours we made an exceptional outfit. Once we were done we went to the deserted plane strip across STAR labs. I drove the STAR labs van and we all sat up the equipment while Barry changed into the outfit. Once the door opened me and Cisco walked to Barry. "How does it fit Barry?" I asked excited.

"It's a little snug." "Well at least you'll be running so fast no one will see you." Cisco patted his shoulder. He walked over to Caitlyn. I turned to Cisco. "We are going to be great friends I can already see that." He beamed and hugged me. I laughed and once Caitlyn was done I found out that her Fiancée died the night of the particle accelerator.

Cisco got out a device that will tell us how fast he is running. We both walked in front of the table and in front of Dr. Wells and Caitlyn. "Ok Barry ready when you are!" Cisco shouted. Then Barry bent down and touched his hands to his feet and then the next thing I know I am blown on the ground next to Cisco.

I looked over and on the device it said Barry was going 643 miles per hour. "Well damn that's cool." Cisco nodded astonished. Then all of a sudden Barry ran straight into barrels of water. "Oh my god." Me and Caitlyn said at the same time. We both started to run toward him.

I got there first. "Barry are you ok?" "Yea my hand is broke though." I nodded and helped him up Caitlyn joined us and she out Barry's other arm around her neck so we both can help him. Caitlyn walked off and helped pack up while I helped Barry into the back of the STAR labs van I made him sit down in a chair and we waited a few minutes before Cisco joined us in the back and Caitlyn drove with Dr. Wells up front.

Once we got to STAR labs I helped Barry out and we went to the med bay. Caitlyn took care of it and I helped Cisco put away everything and I went back in the med bay. Caitlyn told me how I sis and I nodded my head. After a few hours Caitlyn went to check on Barry's hand and saw that it was completely healed. I was confused. "SO he has super healing?" "Apparently he does." "Cool and I just get fast reflexes." Barry looked at me surprised.

"Git hit by dark matter. Fun times." I said sarcastically. "Since I am fully healed I want to ask Dr. Wells something I will be back in a minute. I nodded and went in the Cortex and talked to Cisco. Barry came back with Dr. Wells. "Arabella Barry wanted to see if you can train with him so you could become a super hero like he wants to be but you will only go out on certain times."

I was over joyed. "I would love that." "Also he want's to see if you can block his punches and kicks to test your limits." I shrugged. "I have spare clothes here and some training clothes." "Ok then go change Arabella. Barry you can change into shorts I would re think about a shirt because you will get really hot fighting." Barry nodded.

I left and changed into a black sports bra and some black cotton short shorts that said 'PINK' across my ass. I out on some black and pink converse and me and Barry walked in to a room that had a treadmill and a dummy so I can train. Caitlyn came in. "Ok so Dr. Wells wants to see you fight with Barry while we both monitor your vitas." I nodded and she put some things on my chest and did the same with Barry. She then left closing the door.

"Ok Barry I want you to not use much of your speed yet I want to see what happens and when I tell you that means you use your speed, while you do this Arabella will use her fast reflexes and try to dodge you. You both can stop once I tell you to." Dr. Wells voice comes in. I nodded. "Go!"

Barry threw a punch at my stomach but I backed up and kicked his side. he grabbed my foot and pushed it off. I spinned around to not fall and I threw 2 punches at his side and stomach. he dodged the on his stomach but not his side. Barry threw a punch and hit my face. I fell to the ground but I twisted on the floor and knocked him firm his feet. I wiped my mouth and got on top of him I held him down. He got out and I stood up.

He didn't give me a break he tried to kick my side but I pushed his leg away. I spun and punched his chest. I then got him in a head lock. "Ok stop for a minute." I let go and Caitlyn ran in and put ice on my lip. Once it touched my lip I back up and wished it would heal then I heard her gasp. "What? What's wrong?" "Your cut on your lip just vanished." My eyes went wide and I ran to a glass and saw my reflection I gasped. It was healed and wasn't swollen. Dr. Wells came in.

"Arabella how did you do that?" I thought for a minute. "Umm, I just thought for the pain to go away and for it to be healed." He nods. "Well are you up for another round this will be tricky because Barry will use his speed this time." "I am ready." He nods and leaves same with Caitlyn. "Ok get ready." I hear Cisco say. I take a deep breath. "Go!" Barry uses his speed and goes for a punch I duck down. I spin and kick at his legs. He dodges them I come back up.

He goes for a quick punch I grab his fist and throw him back. He gets up and runs at me. He punches my stomach. I hunch over. I see him coming towards me and I punch his face. I kick his side and he throws a punch. We both get hit. I was sure that I had bruises on my body but I shrugged them off. Barry came towards me again and was speed punching me. I had enough and I grabbed a hold of his arm and threw him, he got up and I punched his face then his side and did a kick and spun around.

"Ok that's enough for today." I heard Dr. Wells said, I sighed and walked out Caitlyn gave me some ice packs and I sighed in content. "Sorry for hurting you I just wanted to see what would you would of done." I shrugged and winced. "I got in a few good shots too." He nodded. After a while my bruises were gone and I sighed. I changed into different clothes and Barry left. I laid down on the medical bed and soon took a nap.
